Alexandra [2017 senior] 10.21.16 // Brownsburg, Indiana Senior Photographer

Life has been really busy for me this month, hence no blog posts, and for that I apologize. I could've put up a couple of posts in the past few weeks, I just didn't feel like it. It's called laziness. But hey, I'm back now, and I have several posts in the works to share in the coming weeks (we've heard that before, now haven't we?)!

Anyway, two of my sisters still at home started working at their local Chick-fi-la a few months back and have made some good friends since then, including the sweet girl you will see in the photos below. Alex approached me a few weeks ago about getting her senior pictures done, and even though I market myself as a wedding photographer, I find I do love doing seniors. 

I warmed up to Alex and her sweet smile right away, who seems like a very kind and tender-hearted young woman. I found she's a lot braver than I am, with her love of six inch heels. I can barely walk in a three inch heel without stumbling and losing my balance, so I watched in admiration as Alex walked around in her heeled shoes like it was second nature. You go, girl. 

She chose a pretty little park in Brownsburg, and then we went across the road to an alleyway (with a beautiful doorway by the way...I'm a sucker for old doors) for kind of an urban street appeal, which are probably my favorite images of the night. And it was such a beautiful night at that! The cool, crisp breeze made it feel like the perfect Autumn day, and Alex was such a natural who rocked her session like a pro! 

Oh, and as a side note, I love, no, absolutely adore her name. All the heart eyes.

Miah + Toni 07.09.16 // Sharpsville, Indiana wedding photographer

When my photographer friend Jackie first approached me about associate shooting a wedding for her, I was all for it, and very excited. But as Miah + Toni's wedding day drew closer, especially the week or two before, the nerves that once weren't there came on like a flood. I was SO nervous. Every single self doubt rose up in my mind, telling me I couldn't do it, and I'd fail miserably. I mean, c'mon, not only did I have all the responsibilities of the lead shooter, but I was shooting under the name of another photographer- one MUCH more experienced and known than I. And let's not even discuss the difference of quality in our work. However, albeit shy and quiet (trust me, I'm working on bettering my personality), once I arrived the day of and began shooting (my happy place), my nerves pretty much disappeared, and all my haunting fears dissipated. 

Miah + Toni's sweet and simple day was a dream, and almost everything went according to time and plan. It was a beautiful, sunny day on the gorgeous grounds of the Kelley Agricultural Historical Museum in Sharpsville, Indiana. Toni's dress was absolutely dreamy (insert all the heart eyes), her ring to die for, and the colors of blush and coral were so pretty together!

A huge thanks to Jackie Santanta for trusting me to shoot in her name (haha), and to Miah + Toni for being such an amazing couple to work with! It was an honor to document their wedding day, and may they have many boundless years of happiness together!
